China conducted high-altitude military drills near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh, showcasing advanced technologies such as drones, all-terrain vehicles, and exoskeletons. The exercises, led by the PLA Xinjiang Military Command, underline Beijing's focus on preparedness in extreme conditions. These drills come days before India’s Army Day and amid fragile peace after the October 2024 disengagement agreement. India has bolstered its LAC defences, deploying advanced surveillance systems and conducting rigorous winter warfare exercises. While diplomatic efforts continue, experts see these activities as strategic posturing, emphasizing the need for vigilance and modernisation to address persistent challenges along the border.
